Dface's Discussion of "Judging and Fixing Your Own Errors"

[Dface]

@Elliot

Bad choices about how to begin can prevent getting to a good situation where you don’t run into too many hard, time-consuming problems to deal with.

Bad choices about how to begin getting good at solving easy problems I think.

What are those bad choices? I can’t think of anything? I think maybe starting a big project where the person is going to do something really difficult is a bad choice.

This is what the bad choices can prevent:

@Elliot

getting to a good situation where you don’t run into too many hard, time-consuming problems to deal with.

I see the word “situation” is used in the quote. That situation can determine if you’re gonna deal with really hard problems or maybe problems that are going to challenge you the right amount.

In that “good situation,” you’re not gonna run into too many of the kinds of problem that are time consuming and hard. I see in the quote above it describes the problems like this:

@Elliot

hard, time-consuming problems

Do adjectives in a list work the same as an AND operator? Like the problems we’re talking about are the hard AND time consuming ones.

I wonder what “time-consuming” means. It’s probably like it takes up a lot of your time that you could be doing other stuff.

I see the problems are “hard” but that doesn’t sound that bad on its own. It’s when you’re taking so long on them to solve that it becomes another problem.
